Breast Reduction Surgery

If you have breasts that are overly large for your body or if your breasts are causing you back pain and constant discomfort, then it might be time to consider getting breast reduction surgery. Although it may seem like an absurd idea to individuals who want larger breasts, having oversized breasts can be extremely painful. And although you will want to get smaller sized breasts, you don’t want to go too small or not small enough. So how can you decide what size you should be? Read on to learn more.

Body Size
If you are getting a breast reduction because your breasts are simply too large for your body’s frame, then it’s extremely important to make sure that you are getting the right sized breasts as part of your outcome. For instance, if you have a petite frame with DD sized breasts, then you may want to go down to either a full C or B cup. However, just know that as soon as you hit the B cup range that you may be shocked by how small your breasts are after your surgery.

Back Pain
If you are getting a breast reduction due to back pain, then your goal won’t necessarily be to make sure you look proportionate, although that will a factor, but your main emphasis in getting a reduction will be to alleviate enough of the pain and pressure that is causing your back pain. Make sure to talk to Dr. Thomas F. Crais about removing enough of your existing breast tissue or implants, in order to give you the ability to breathe and function like normal once again.

When it comes down to getting a breast reduction, nothing is quite as important as communicating with Dr. George P. Smith regarding what you hope to get out of your surgery. Specifically you want to make sure that you not only get the look that you want from the surgery but that you get your comfort level back as well.
